Aave V3 MegaETH stcUSD supply cap hits 100%, doubling proposed to $40M

Aave Governance Forum · Jul 8, 2026 2:51 PM EDT

LlamaRisk has recommended doubling the stcUSD supply cap on Aave V3 MegaETH from $20 million to $40 million after the reserve hit 100% utilization at nearly $20 million. The concentration risk is acute: two positions account for almost all supplied stcUSD, with health factors of 1.02 and 1.03, meaning they are within a marginal price move of liquidation. USDm is borrowed against this collateral in Stablecoins E-Mode at a 90% liquidation threshold.

For Armada's crypto repo desk, this governance action is a real-time benchmark for stablecoin collateral stress in DeFi. Positions this close to liquidation at a major Aave instance can cascade into forced selling and liquidity pressure on stcUSD and related stablecoins. If any Armada counterparties hold stcUSD as collateral or are active in adjacent DeFi stablecoin markets, this concentration risk warrants monitoring as a potential contagion trigger.

Suggested action Reassess stcUSD collateral risk profile against Aave benchmark; flag concentrated low-health-factor positions as a DeFi contagion watch item.
